Do Barcelona receive preferential treatment from referees?

Question

Surely not,

Midfielder Seydou Keita has reacted angrily to claims in the Madrid press that Barcelona receive preferential treatment from referees.

Referees are humans, they make mistakes like all of us, people can't use that and say they are giving us favours, they are not there to help us, Madrid or any other team.

Well said.

Answer 1

Paranoid nonsense, Arnie.

Referees make roughly the same amount of errors in favour smaller teams, as those in favour of larger teams, with a general slight bias towards the home side.

Answer 2

All majority of major clubs get the benefit of the doubt and get let off alot more then the smaller clubs!

Look at Henry's handball against Ireland, It it was Ireland in the same situation, im sure they would have got penalised
